might exist? He does have a decent number of unreleased songs, concert-only parodies, and of course the fan-favorite live version of 'Yoda.' Probably only needs a two-disc set though, yeah, kind of amazing to imagine collecting different live performances of 'Fat.'

I mentioned this on some other thread, but a few years ago I had an idea for a stapler with a voice circuit inside it that said "Ouch!" every time it was used. Last week I saw a stapler that made a shotgun noise when used.

If I were ever prompted to give any advice about writing humor, I would just say- Write everything down, everything. The script for this strip came from a random two sentences scrawled down, originally intended to be just a footnote to augment another script. But, returning to it months later I was able to see it temporally removed from its composition and free from fresh over-analysis. Seriously, if you said it and you laughed or even just cracked a smile, write that shit down cause it’s yours.

also you need a staple remover that says "hold still...hold still... i've got it... ok, it's out" to go along with

A spoof of the movie 'Scream' called 'Hot Drinks'. In the opening scene we see the young, blonde housesitter at home with the curtains open looking out onto the darkened lawn outside. The phone rings:
Housesitter: Hello?
Phone Voice: Why don't you wanna talk to me?
Housesitter: Who is this?
Phone Voice: You tell me your name, I'll tell you mine.
Housesitter: I don't think so.
Phone Voice: What's that noise?
Housesitter: The kettle
Phone Voice: You're making a hot drink?
Housesitter: Uh huh.
Phone Voice: Really, what?
Housesitter: Oh, just a hot drink.
Phone Voice: Do you like hot drinks?
Housesitter: Uh huh.
Phone Voice: What's your favourite hot drink?
Housesitter: I dunno.
Phone Voice: You have to have a favourite, what comes to mind?
etc...

sounds like a scary movie

I'm Catholic and I agree with you 100 percent (onimo), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 12:30 (ten years ago) link

series of detective novels with st paul as the lead character, solving crimes on his travels.

Strengths
• Fun to write? Research early Christianity, throw in lots of crazy first century stuff
• 'interesting' in a slightly hazy way. Sex! Where would that fit?
• Good main character, kind of a maverick wandering from town to town.

Weaknesses
• Can't write detective fiction, have almost no knowledge of genre, only like Chandler tbh (mitigate: steal plots and structure)
• Would probably want to put too much research in, ends up as dog's dinner.
• Time-consuming (mitigate: do not decide you need to learn aramaic, hebrew, latin, etc to do this 'properly')
• Horrible main character, religious fanatic, awful views on most stuff (mitigate: some kind of villain messing with his letters?)

Opportunities
• Large Christian market. $$$/£££, even at £0.49, including free wireless delivery via amazon whispernet

Threats
• Angry Christians who don't like eg visions of Christ appearing to give Paul clues, Paul/Thecla sexual tension.
• Has someone done this already? Sort of thing that seems like it could already be an entire genre

Action:
More research needed, post to terrible ideas thread for time being.

woof, there is The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ - not exactly the same thing but the whole 'messing with the letters' thing goes on a bit.

a beef supreme (dog latin), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 15:28 (ten years ago) link

Thank you! More stuff to mine. I'd be aiming for much pulpier than Pullman, so I will not add that to threats. It'd be more like the Jane Austen Mysteries or something.

visions of Christ appearing to give Paul clues

lol plz write this

LOLed at same thing. I think these could be very successful. Much as I like the idea as-is, you could also downgrade the research, camp it up, and do it as a series of 'wacky' graphic novels.

Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 17:21 (ten years ago) link

(Thinking also though of sth like Name of the Rose - mystery infused with exotic old-school Catholic material. I think the 'crazy first-century stuff' is perhaps the most intriguing part of the premise.)

Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 17:23 (ten years ago) link

CHRIST: my time here is short paul but you must follow the tracks of the ass

PAUL: jesus wait, what ass? what tracks?

CHRIST: . . . tracks of. . . the ass . . .

St Paul Mysteries update:

you could also downgrade the research, camp it up, and do it as a series of 'wacky' graphic novels.

Yesterday a friend suggested a TV variant with Paul as "basically Gandalf: he's a wandering wizard, engaged in eternal battle with the forces of evil", like a heavy-on-the-cgi Xena kind of thing.

He also pointed out I could have St Barnabas as Paul's sidekick.

I think I will stick with detective-mystery though, partly because I agree with your assessment Dr Casino - Name of the Rose -> 1st century strangeness is most interesting bit of it.

Upgrading to 'OK idea', going to read some commercially successful historical detective fiction.

wandering wiz biz cld be a Crime-Solving Christ spin-off series, with the sermon on the mount as a round-up of the usual suspects etc

Ward Fowler, Wednesday, 8 January 2014 15:24 (ten years ago) link

If adapted for TV, skip the CGI and just turn it into a "Highway to Heaven" type thing. Rock-bottom budget, just shuffling around Europe and Asia Minor converting people and solving the small problems of guest stars of the week.
